Very conversational interviewers. Their chief concern was that you understand what you're getting yourself into with military medicine. My first questions was actually What do you want to talk about?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through sdn forums and did some mock interviews with my family which was actually really helpful since I said some things I knew right away I didn't want to and could ensure that I wouldn't say them on interview day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were really helpful. The informal panel during lunch gave a lot of diverse veiwpoints on life at USUHS and everyone there seemd to genuinely enjoy it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They had to scramble to get interviewers, which led to a bit of a confusing schedule and some people (fortunately not me) had really bad interviewers who I assume usually are not used. Part of what happens with deployment schedules though not enough doctors around for extra duties outside the clinic.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we'd have a chance to fire questions at the student panel. Come prepared with anything and everything you'd want to ask you'll get multiple answers and really be able to figure out if this place is for you
